Work has been a little tiring the last few days, but that's because I've been having 6 hours of sleep, waking up at 8:20AM, and working 9-10 hours/day.
After work, I skated with a small crew of about 30. It was pretty windy and 60 degrees so I can't blame people for not coming. Overall, it was the usual fun. As a group of us went downhill, I think I discovered that I can sprint faster than most but probably tire faster than the average. It might have to do with never learning to pace in running or skating. Sandra remarked that she was trying to copy my unusual skate stroke and asked if I was double pumping. I need to figure out how to do that sometime because I'm not so I'm probably being inefficient somehow.
Skate stats:
Years skated: 9 years - Chele bought me some while I visited her in New York and I learned between the upper east side and central park.
Number of still visible scars: 6
Oldest scar: 8 years old under left elbow.
Last fall: Last week while trying to skate dance.
Frequency of falls: About once every 4 months.
Most humiliating falls: Rolling over a scrunchie. Rolling into a car parking chain during finals week.
Funniest fall: I was wearing two huge foam fan hands(the kind they give you at school sports events) at Trinity University after a TAC Music event and lost balance.
Favorite skating spot: Central Park's southwest decline.
Longest skate: 28 miles from NYC upper west side to Jersey and back.
